Abstract
The article reports on the analysis of a tablespoonful soil from the sample taken by the Apollo 11 astronauts. The sample carried by Neil Armstrong and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr. from the Tranquility Base was consisted of about 36 fist-sized rocks and 12 kilograms of more finely ground soil. The analysis showed how these soils are formed that gives the reasons for the structure of the moon.
